Tried and Tested Acts of Separation Lyrics

What did we make of our empires?

I never blamed you for moving away

You belong in the city

I get headaches

What did we leave in our deposit box?

I wrote you something

You drew an animal

I think it was a fox

Tidal shifts, the advertising boards spin

Fate is always out here peddling something

I'd be happy never needing attention

I tell myself

Somehow there's always a reason

What did we make of our empires?

You never ask me about my divorce

I don't speak to anyone

From college anymore

I was never a real person

I saw to that

I'm beginning to document

The temporary state

Of everything I have

Astrological shifts, the antique globe spins

Tried and tested acts of separation

I'd be happy if my shadow gained awareness

I tell myself

When I get so lonely in the quiet

Tidal shifts, the advertising boards spin

Fate is always out here peddling something

I'd be happy never needing attention

I tell myself

Somehow there's always a reason

I was never a real person
